I put a sump in. Washed a line under my driveway and turned and ran it to the road 180'. Cut a slot in the curb at the road to run pipe through.
Works amazing.
Put in a few catchbasins with the sock drain into the sump basin. Float switch operation. You have to have a check valve as well.
I removed the pump ever few months and clean basin and the float. Got a good cast iron trash pump for leaves and debris.

I've wondered about using one of these. I know they use them all the time up north in basement land and they see constant use.
Have you noticed or figured out what it does to your electric bill?
Obviously the best situation is to have gravity remove your water but in some situations that is not possible or feasible. And in low country like La it seems like it could be practical in many situations to run a pump but I do wonder if it ends up being expensive ticket on the power bill.
